## Title

    [Temporal OpenAI Agents plugin] "Temporal workflows don't support SQLite sessions." when passing SQLiteSession to Runner.run

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): SQLite session I/O is non-deterministic local state; the plugin rejects it (workflow history is the durable memory).
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/temporalio/sdk-python/eb642b14947bd8bcdf8816cffb6a63869803f5c6/temporalio/contrib/openai_agents/_openai_runner.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Workflow-only validation raises ValueError if kwargs session is a SQLiteSession.
    
    Search phrasings: Temporal workflows don't support SQLite sessions; temporal openai agents session memory workflow
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
